When the clocks go forwards this Sunday, does anyone know what happens to the timing of the cheap rate? Does it stay as GMT (so 01:00 - 07:00 BST) or does it remain at 00:00 - 06:00 clock / BST time? I'm struggling to find the information anywhere so hoping that someone here will know the answer.

Have you tried disconnecting the 12V battery for about 5 mins and then reconnecting? My Mk2 ZSEV would not AC charge once and this simple trick solved it for me. You will need a 10mm spanner to disconnect the -ve battery terminal. Once re-connected, set the max charge to 100%, turn off any...

One area not mentioned so far is where you are charging. If you are charging on a cheap tariff at home, then a SR or LR will be suitable. However if you have no access to home charging and have to always rely on the public network, then a LR will be more suitable in order to minimise the number...

Once in about 70,000 miles when the car would not type 2 charge. A quick disconnect solved the problem - Mk2 ZSEV.

Do you have an OBD dongle plugged in? There have been problems with the ZSEV with dongles causing the car alarm to activate when the car is left locked.

You can also get these error messages if the sun is low and the camera is looking into the low sun. Now you are aware of this, it will be easy for you to check whether the messages occur when driving towards the sun.

Just hold down the home button (LHS button) on the screen for about 15 seconds to reboot the screen.

I use Blights garage, Bideford North Devon. They have been good so far. https://www.blightsmotors.co.uk/

Avoid perhaps because of the high price. But over the past 5 years, I have never had any charging problems with Instavolt chargers - they always work.

All is explained here - Car makers slash EV prices by a THIRD to meet binding sales targets It appears that many manufacturers are having to slash their EV prices to avoid the government fines for not meeting the ZEV numbers.

I've had a few times where I have not pushed the charging lead all the way into the socket. The symptons are similar to what you described. On another occasion, it would not charge regardless what I did. The 10mm spanner on the 12V battery solved this problem.

The 2 springs were £45 each plus labour. I'm not sure of the exact labour costs as it was £157 total for the service, labour to replace a ball joint and labour for replacing the 2 springs.

I needed both rear springs replaced at my last 2 year service for the MGZS Trophy. It was at my expense. It was all done within 2 days. Sadly, rural Devon roads are full of pot holes.

It has nothing to do with how tightly you grip the steering wheel. It needs a light pull left or right every 8-10 seconds to remind the car that you are still awake.

Can you use a swarco card on a CPS charger? Does anyone know?

On my car (zsev) and phone(Redmi) if I plug the phone in before starting the car, I have this problem. The solution is to start the car first before plugging in the phone or to unplug the USB cable for a few seconds then plug back in

The fan uses very little power, although as you have noticed, the way the GOM is set up, it's the turning of the fan on that shows the decrease in range. Once the fan is on, using the heater uses the most power (as noticed by the extra current drawn), even though there is no additional...

I assume that you are talking about a type 2 pod point charger? If so, it will charge at about 6.5kW and will add about 25 miles per hour of charging.

The Gen 1 ZS EV does not like any noise on the mains. Due you have internet over the mains (powerline etc) or even a Sky Q box? If so, disconnect these and try again.

You will not be able to charge at 120KW in the ZS EV. The highest I've seen in my LR is 89KW, at a very low state of charge and high temperature. Both affect the charge rate. The SR charges slower than the LR.
